Default mods that wont break your lease

Hey!

My 2nd post.. I am thinking about buying a MS3.

What are some of the modifications you can do without breaking your lease? I know you can do wheel/tire package as long as you put the stocks back on before you give it back.

Anything else?

How much would the CAI cost through the dealership with installation? What about the springs kit?

ok you said "buy" and then you said "lease" if by lease you mean warrenty then the CAI and exhuast and chamber kit you can do but if you are leaseing the car you can NOT do any modifications to the car or who ever you are leasing the car from will fine you for the repairs to get it back to stock.

Yeah, but if you put it back to stock before you give it back then its fine. Obviously its harder to do when you do a CAI etc.. but you can def. to wheels/tires as long as you keep the old ones.

the bose systems should already have amps you can probably replace them for better ones.

What I am getting at is whether or not the bose stereo has any subwoofer out ports open in the back of the stereo so you can just plug & play

From what I've read, the Bose system is pretty self-contained and has it's own subwoofer. It seems they don't want ppl messing around w/their design so they made it a "closed loop" system. IOWs, no it doesn't have additional speaker/amp outputs.
